The PSA test is just one of a number of tests for early detection of prostate cancer. If you want to jump to diagnosis of prostate cancer, go to Earlier Detection: Finding Prostate Cancer.
When done in addition to a DRE, a PSA blood test enhances detection of prostate cancer. However, the test is known to have relatively high false-positive rates. A PSA blood test also may identify a greater number of medically insignificant lumps or growths, called tumors, in the prostate.
